CRM · Analytics and the heatmap

Where the buyers are looking, before the listings arrive.

Every signed-in visitor who opens a listing on your site leaves a qualified trace: which property, what type, what price, roughly where. Analytics turns those traces into a map of demand, a price picture and a list of the people who keep coming back, so the brokerage decides where to list, what to feature and who to call from evidence rather than instinct.

What the numbers meanand what they leave out
Qualified viewA signed-in customer opening a listing, recorded by the server from the listing feed. The same customer opening the same listing again within 30 minutes counts once.
Unique interestOne customer and one property in the period, however many times they looked. Every share and percentage on the page is built on this, not on page refreshes.
Engaged customersThe signed-in people behind the interests. The Customer preferences table lists them with the property type they lean to.
Repeat interestThe share of interests where the customer came back to the same property on another visit. The clearest signal that a buyer is close.
Prior periodEvery figure is shown against the period of the same length before it, because a single week rarely means anything on its own.
Kept for 13 monthsRaw events roll off after 13 months. A customer removing a home from their own recent list does not erase the interest; they may be tidying up, not changing their mind.
The map never sees whoEach customer and property pair contributes once. Coordinates are rounded to a cell about a hundred metres across, and the map receives only the cell and its weight: no customer information, no MLS® numbers, no addresses. Popular listings are ranked by qualified views and shown without photos.
What it measures

Interest, not traffic.

Page views reward whoever refreshes most. Analytics counts something rarer: a person who has signed in on your site choosing to open a listing. That is closer to a buyer raising a hand than to a hit counter, and it is why the sections below can be read as a picture of your market rather than of your web server.

  • Six sections, one period picker. Engagement over time, property interests (type, structure, ownership, sale or lease, bedrooms, bathrooms), location demand with the city rankings and heatmap, price and budget, customer preferences, and popular listings.
  • Sale and lease never mix. Price bands are kept separate so a monthly rent never distorts the sale-price picture.
  • Unknowns stay visible. A property with no recorded type stays in the chart as unknown rather than quietly shrinking the denominator.
  • Brokerage admins only. The dashboard is a management view. Agents work from Leads, Customers and the inbox, which carry the individual detail.
Who to send what

Four Monday-morning decisions.

Analytics does not send anything itself. It tells you where the demand is and who is behind it; the rest of the platform does the sending. Each scenario below is a real read of the dashboard followed by the tools that act on it.

The heatmap · location demand

Heat where you have no inventory

38 unique interests in one Aurora Grove cell, 30 days · you have 1 listing there
Read

The hottest cell on the map sits around Aurora Grove, and Aurora is 46% of all interest, up from 39% over the year. Your inventory there is thin. Buyers are already looking at the street; sellers are what you are missing.

Do

Point the seller side of the funnel at that area: promote the neighbourhood page and the home valuation entry, and give the agents who cover Aurora the By area routing lane so every enquiry from those streets reaches them. Put an Aurora market update in front of your seller contacts through an email campaign.

Price and budget · property interests

The budget your site is actually attracting

41% of sale interest between $900k and $1.2M · townhouses lead the type chart
Read

Two in five buyers on your site are shopping between $900k and $1.2M, and townhouses lead the property-type chart, while your featured listings section leads with $1.8M detached homes. The home page is talking to a buyer who is not the one visiting.

Do

Switch Featured listings to Most viewed in the live site editor so the home page shows what people are opening. Send a "new under $1.2M this week" campaign with the Just listed template to the newsletter purpose, and put the same band in the next Mass SMS to a consented buyer segment.

Customer preferences · repeat interest

The buyers who are close

7 customers with three or more repeat views on the same property this month
Read

The Customer preferences table sorts by Repeat. Seven people have gone back to the same home three times or more; one of them, Dana, prefers townhouses 80% of the time and has opened 14 Elderberry Crt four times in five days.

Do

Open History, see the four visits, and call about that property today. Tag the seven as Hot buyer, build a segment has the tag Hot buyer and SMS marketing is allowed, and text the Saturday open house to exactly those people. If Dana drew a watched area, the next matching listing reaches her without anyone remembering to send it.

Engagement over time · sale vs lease

When to send, and which lane to staff

Sun 6 pm the weekly peak in qualified views · lease interest in Newmarket up 22% over 90 days
Read

The daily trend peaks on Sunday evenings, and the sale-versus-lease split shows lease interest in Newmarket rising while your Lease lane is still set to Manual, so those enquiries wait in the queue until Monday.

Do

Schedule the next campaign for Sunday at 6 pm and let business hours hold any automated text until you open on Monday. Set the Lease lane to By area so the agent who covers Newmarket gets the rental enquiries the moment they arrive, and give the leasing agents the Office listings block on the home page.

Customer preferences

The list that ends in a phone call.

The last section of the dashboard is the one agents care about most: the people. Each signed-in customer appears with the property type they lean to and how strongly, how many properties they have looked at, how many qualified views that took, and how often they came back to the same home.

  • Preference is a share, not a guess. "Townhouse 80%" means townhouses were four of the five properties Dana was interested in.
  • Repeat is the tell. Sorting by Repeat surfaces the buyers who keep returning to one property, which is the moment a call is welcome rather than intrusive.
  • History is one tap away. The property, its MLS® number, the price at the time, first and last viewed, so the agent opens the conversation with the right home.
  • From reading to sending. Tag the people you want to reach, let a segment pick them up, and Mass SMS or an email campaign does the rest, with consent checked on the way out.

Questions

Before you read the map.

Whose activity is counted?

Signed-in customers opening listings on your site. Anonymous traffic is not counted, which is the point: every number on the dashboard is a person who could be in your Customers list, not a bot or a passing click.

What is a qualified view?

A customer opening a listing, recorded by the server from the listing feed. Opening the same listing again within 30 minutes counts once. Interests go one step further: one customer and one property in the period count as one interest however many times they looked.

Can the heatmap identify a customer or a property?

No. Each customer and property pair contributes once, coordinates are rounded to a cell roughly a hundred metres across, and the map receives only the cell and its weight. Names, MLS® numbers and addresses never reach it.

Does Analytics send messages or build audiences?

No. It shows you the demand and the people behind it. To act, you tag customers, let a segment pick them up, and send through Mass SMS or an email campaign, which check consent on the way out. Featured listings and lead routing are changed in the editor and the Leads screen.

How far back does it go?

Periods of 7, 30 or 90 days or one year, each compared with the period before it. Raw events are kept for 13 months and then roll off.

Why is a customer still counted after they cleared their recent list?

Because removing a home from their own recent list is housekeeping, not a change of mind. The qualified interest stays in the aggregate; only their personal list changes.

Who can see it?

Brokerage admins, from Analytics in the main menu. Agents see the individual detail that matters to them under Leads and Customers.
